Knockers

[Les Freathy]

I wish i wish, but no its the name given to the AEC Militant 6x4 and 6x6 used in large numbers by the British army from 1950 into the 1980s untill replaced by the Bedford TM 6x6. the name came from its slow knock generated from the 6 cyl dieselengine also familier in the Matador, again plenty of scope in this thread as it had a number of various bodies in army use and some in to civilian life. Strange thing is in terms of old military vehicles theyshould be available for presevation but there seems to be few takers, granted they are large but so are many others
